Gas cylinder, whether domestic or professional, is an essential part of our life. Millions of people use LPG gas cylinders for cooking daily. It is required every two months, and the government resorts to gas agencies to distribute it. There are several rules to gas cylinders, which are not known to most people. In addition, many people do not know that gas cylinders are also insured, which means that if there is any loss from the gas cylinder, the government provides compensation.
The government has an insurance cover of up to Rs 10 lakh on gas cylinders. This means that if the gas cylinder burst while cooking and you are harmed, then the government gives you up to Rs 10 lakh. Every year there are many cases of gas cylinders exploding across the country, in which many people die and many are injured. In such accidents, houses also suffer heavy losses. However, there are very few people in India who claim compensation after such accidents.
This gas cylinder insurance is a third party insurance, which automatically becomes active on getting a gas connection. Its premium is filled by the gas agency. If you have to inform the gas cylinder leak or burst, first you have to inform the police and the gas agency. After this, the agency people will come on the spot and investigate how the accident happened. Based on this, a report is prepared, after which insurance is paid. If your gas is leaking cylinder or has any problem, contact the agency immediately, so that you can avoid a major accident.
